Summary: Maybe a little stroll won't take too long, or so she thought?

ONE CHRISTMAS EVE

8-8-8

Katie, as a friend of Harry Potter; had sneaked out to take a stroll at Christmas Eve. Sure it was forbidden to since the 'killer' Sirius Black's out scaring the living day lights out of them but not Bell. She was brave and challenged. Yes, she might get caught by the Head girl or the Head boy, who care? What Katie wants Katie gets. And maybe a little stroll won't take too long, or so she thought.

Katie was on her way to the quadrangle when she noticed a robust shadow standing just behind her. She spun around and saw Slytherin's own Troll, Marcus Flint.

"What are you doing strolling in the late night of Christmas, Bell?" he asked calmly.

Katie raised a brow "What do you care, Marcus. Just leave me alone."

"How could I leave a fair lady out here?"

"Fair? Please, give me a break." She wanted to make this conversation long. She guess a little talk with a crush won't hurt anyone, right? Heck yeah he likes him…so much. It's not about the outer appearance, it the…appeal.

Katie sat on the excess of the flower boxes out side. "I was just wondering, could I ask you a couple of questions?" she asked.

Marcus raised a brow.

"I mean…if you're man enough to answer them." She challenged.

"Bring it on, Bell."

"One question, one answer."

"Sure…but promise me that if I answer all your question truthfully, you'd get back to your common room and make yourself safe there."

Katie shrugged "Sure…"

Marcus nodded.

"Would you smile if I smile at you?"

"Yeah," he answered with no backing out.

"Would you talk to me if I talk to you?"

He smirked in a knowing look.

"Do you need me?"

"Forever," he answered again.

"Would you leave me because I'm a Gryffindor?"

"Never,"

"What do you value?"

"You,"

"Last question, would you add 'too' if I told you I love you?"

"I will," he answer for the last time. "Not it's my turn to ask you something."

Katie smiled.

"Are you satisfied to hear the truth?"

"Not yet," Katie stood up and gave her troll a quick kiss on the lips. "Maybe now I am," Katie mumbled in his ears and walked straight back to their common room.

Marcus Flint will never forget this night.

This on Christmas Eve.
